Help?

Perhaps this page should have at least links to pages that are about moulding processes? I think this page definetly needs help. It has a lot of very scientific information, but it doesn't make much sense to someone like me researching a school project.

What are plastics used to make?

Maybe someone should add what thermoplastics are actually used to make? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hobowu (talk • contribs) 01:30, 12 October 2006 (UTC) also say what is it used for[[Image:--213.122.2.91 16:18, 7 October 2007 (UTC)Example.jpg--213.122.2.91 16:18, 7 October 2007 (UTC)--213.122.2.91 16:18, 7 October 2007 (UTC)Bold text]][reply]

Wording?

Should double double carbon bonds actually be double carbon-carbon bonds? 84.92.54.192 00:58, 10 January 2007 (UTC) what on earthim a nob[reply]

when was it invented???? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.99.137.44 (talk) 23:58, 20 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Discussion a mess

]this dicussion is uberly shocking. it does not meet wikipedias standards Unsigned

Did my best to tidy it up. Hope it's looking better now. I am a lemon 04:14, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article as written is a great summary of physicl chemistry, with a great list of resin types; what seems to be missing is some indicatin of the pervasive impact of commodity themoplastics in our world, eg, I couldn't find current production figures, but in 2001 polyethylene alone was > 10 billion pounds per year. I also wonder if the list at the bottom could be made into table, with chemical structures and asome brief notes - or is that for the seperate articles. in any event, a great start.Cinnamon colbert (talk) 04:19, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Table of Thermoplastics

In the Table of Thermoplastics, the melting point is not generally useful; the softening temperature would be better (formally this is the Glass transition temperature, and it determines at what temperature the plastic starts to lose its form). Two other useful columns would be indications of strength and hardness (e.g. poor, fair, good, excellent).
